  • Advertisers must ensure that the landing page(s) for the product(s) include any applicable disclosures and disclaimers required under applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which they intend to target ads.  To the extent applicable, this obligation includes disclosing the applicable interest rates, annual percentage rates, transaction fees, disclaimers, repayment periods, representative examples, and other disclosures required under applicable laws.
  • Ads may not promote get-rich-quick offers, pyramid schemes, too-good-to-be-true financial offers, products that could be considered predatory, bail bonds, complex speculative financial investments, payday loans, pawnbroker loans, precious metals trading, peer-to-peer products, NFTs or virtual currencies, single securities, or similar products.
  • Ads may not promote products that have been subject to any government or regulatory action, or warning, or advisory, including opinions from state attorneys general or similar authorities.

  • Advertisers may not target individuals under the age of 18.
  • Ads cannot request the input of any personally identifiable information or financial information such as bank account information, credit/debit card information or routing numbers.

Restricted Content: CBD/Hemp Products Revision – September 26, 2025


Content

Additional Guidelines Specific to CBD/Hemp Products
As explained in the Demand Partner Policies, Demand Partners may be permitted to deliver ads containing restricted content, such as CBD/hemp products, if the ads and associated products and services strictly adhere to any country- or region-specific laws, rules, or regulations (including any age-related restrictions, licensing/certification requirements, labeling and disclaimer requirements, advertising guidelines, self-regulatory requirements or recommendations, and any similar guidance or requirements), the Demand Partner Policies, and any other applicable AppLovin policies or agreements, and obtain express approval from the AppLovin Team.

Demand Partners seeking to deliver ads for CBD/hemp products or similar content through the Services must also ensure their products and ads meet the following minimum criteria:

  • Advertisers must ensure that they have all necessary authorizations and licenses required under applicable laws (and produce them on request) to market, promote, and ship their products in each jurisdiction in which they intend to target ads.
  • Advertised products must qualify as hemp under applicable laws.  Under U.S. federal law, this generally means a total THC content of less than 0.3%, but the definition may vary depending on the applicable laws, which may change over time and advertisers must independently confirm.
  • THC or similar products regulated by the Controlled Substances Act or other applicable laws or otherwise considered unlawful in the applicable jurisdiction(s) cannot be advertised through the Services.
  • Ads must include an appropriate age and information disclaimer tailored to the applicable jurisdiction, such as: “U.S. federally legal hemp product; Must be 21+ to purchase; only available to purchase in certain states.”
  • Ads must include any other labels or disclaimers required under applicable laws (e.g., country-, state-, or local-specific warning language).
  • Advertisers must ensure that the landing page(s) for the product(s) include an adequate age gate and appropriate disclaimers consistent with applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which they intend to target ads.
  • Advertisers must ensure that their ads only target markets where the product can be lawfully advertised, distributed, and shipped consistent with applicable laws.  The following provides general country-specific information where targeting is currently permitted, which may change over time and advertisers must independently confirm:
    • Certain provinces within Canada as permitted under applicable laws.
    • Mexico
    • Puerto Rico
    • Certain states within the United States as permitted under applicable state laws.  This excludes states like Idaho, Nebraska, and others that generally prohibit the sale of hemp-derived products.
    • Advertisers may not target ads for CBD/hemp products or similar content outside the applicable markets listed above (and the applicable jurisdictions within those markets), which may change over time and advertisers must independently confirm.
  • Advertisers may not target individuals under the age of 21.
  • Ads may not depict marijuana leaves, stems, buds, or similar imagery or use terms typically associated with THC, cannabis, and marijuana.  As such, ads should avoid using terms like “420,” “kush,” “reefer,” “green,” “Mary Jane,” “herb,” “pot,” “chronic,” “hash,” “shrooms,” or any other slang terms typically associated with illegal drugs. 
  • Ads must clearly reflect that they concern hemp products, not THC or similar products regulated by the Controlled Substances Act or other applicable laws.  As such, ads should avoid using terms like “THC” or “cannabis” by themselves and without the necessary context, because that would not make clear that the products qualify as hemp-based products, not illegal drugs.  Acceptable variants include: hemp-derived THC, hemp-based THC, hemp THC, hemp cannabis, U.S. federally legal cannabis, U.S. federally legal weed, or U.S. federally legal THC.
  • Ads may not depict products that resemble child-like snacks or candies or use imagery or situations that would naturally appeal to children or attempt to promote or encourage underage consumption.
  • Ads may not glamorize, glorify, or otherwise exaggerate the benefits of the products.
  • Ads may not claim that the products “diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease and/or affect any structure or function of the human body.” 
  • Advertisers must ensure that their ads and/or the landing page(s) for the product(s) include an appropriate FDA-related or comparable regulatory disclaimer, such as: “Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
  • Ads may not promote products that have been subject to any government or regulatory action, warning, or advisory, including opinions from state attorneys general or similar authorities.
  • Consistent with applicable laws, advertisers must ensure that statements or claims in ads have appropriate support.
  • The landing page(s) for ads served through the Services may not direct end users to content that does not comply with these guidelines and the Demand Partner Policies or that contains or may contain prohibited content.

Content

Prohibited Content Category:

U.S. Multistate Privacy Notice Revision – September 26, 2025


Content

Effective Date: September 26, 2025

Introduction

This U.S. Multistate Privacy Notice (this “Notice”) supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies only to individual residents (the “Covered Individual Residents”) of the applicable U.S. states that have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CCPA”), the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Law, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, and each of their associated regulations, as well as similar applicable state consumer privacy laws that are in effect (collectively, the “State Privacy Laws”).  

This Notice addresses the specific disclosure requirements under the State Privacy Laws and provides additional information about how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process Covered Individual Residents’ personal information, the rights of Covered Individual Residents in relation to that personal information, and the ways to exercise those rights.  You can find more information and details about AppLovin and our personal information collection and use practices in our Privacy Policy.

*AppLovin does not collect or seek to elicit end users’ “sensitive personal information” as defined by the State Privacy Laws. In some cases, we will collect financial account or credit card numbers (for payment-related purposes) from our business customers; however, this information is not used to infer characteristics about those customers as contemplated under the CCPA. 

Selling or Sharing of Personal Information

AppLovin does not “sell” your personal information as most people would commonly understand that term; AppLovin does not, and will not, disclose your personal information in direct exchange for money or some other form of payment.  However, AppLovin may “share” your personal information for purposes of serving you with personalized ads or content, otherwise known as “interest-based advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising.”  Under the CCPA and other State Privacy Laws that expansively define or interpret “sell,” certain advertising and analytics activities may constitute a “sale.”  For example:

  • When you use a mobile application, the publisher of that application may decide to serve you with interest-based ads.  If that application embeds AppLovin’s software, we’ll send a bid request that contains certain of your device information (if available) to our advertising demand side partners to enable their ads to be served to you based on your interests (which they derive independently or from other third-party advertising partners). Under the CCPA and other State Privacy Laws, passing device data in a bid request to our demand side partners is “sharing” (under the CCPA) and may be a “sale” of personal information.

Data Retention

As explained in our Privacy Policy, we retain data collected through the Services as long as we continue to receive updated information from your device, or until you request deletion, whichever occurs first. If we do not receive any updated information through the Services for a continuous period of 2 years, data is automatically purged from our systems. Note that we will retain information in our systems for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Your Privacy Rights

As a Covered Individual Resident, you may be able to exercise the following rights in relation to the personal information that we may have collected about you, subject to certain limitations and requirements, including the verification of your identity and our right to retain information to comply with our legal obligations, among other circumstances.

Privacy RightBrief Details
Know and Access your Personal Information/PortabilityUnder the State Privacy Laws, you have the right to obtain confirmation regarding whether we are processing your personal information and to access that personal information and, in some cases, information about the third parties who may receive such personal information. You also have the right to access that personal information in a portable, readily usable format, unless not technically feasible to provide in such a format. 

With respect to the CCPA’s right to access, you have the right to request the following: (a) the specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about you and (b) the categories of personal information collected, the sources of collection, the business/commercial purpose for collecting or “selling/sharing” personal information, and the categories of third parties to whom the business discloses personal information.
Request Deletion of your Personal InformationYou have the right to request that we delete certain personal information that we may have collected from you.
Opt-Out of the “Sale” or “Sharing” of your Personal Information or Targeted AdvertisingAppLovin may disclose or otherwise process personal information about you for purposes of serving you with personalized ads or content, otherwise known as “interest-based advertising,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising.”

In certain circumstances, you have the right to opt-out of “sales” or “sharing” of your personal information (i.e., Identifiers and Internet/Network Information to Advertising Partners) for purposes of serving you with targeted ads or content, otherwise referred herein as “cross-contextual behavioral advertising” or “targeted advertising.” 
Non-DiscriminationYou have the right to exercise the rights conferred on you by the State Privacy Laws without discrimination.
Correct Inaccurate InformationYou have the right to request that we correct errors or inaccurate information in the personal information that we may have collected from you.
Limit the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal InformationIn certain circumstances, you have the right to limit the use of any sensitive categories of personal information. As noted above, AppLovin does not collect or seek to elicit sensitive categories of personal information.
Opt-Out of Profiling in Furtherance of Decisions that Produce Legal or Similarly Significant EffectsIn certain circumstances, you have the right to opt-out of the use of your personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights

To exercise your rights to know and access your personal information or to request deletion of your personal information, you have the following options (listed according to the types of interaction you may have with AppLovin):


For Users of Mobile Games and/or Other Applications, Platforms, or Services Containing the AppLovin SDK or Similar Technologies

App Store
Google Play

By navigating through the tabs in the AppLovin Privacy Management Application, you can erase the personal information that AppLovin may have collected about you or request a copy of that personal information.

To exercise your right to opt-out of “sales/shares” or “targeted advertising” with respect to AppLovin’s Advertising Services, you have the following options:

  • Opt-Out through AppLovin Ads.  AppLovin allows you to opt-out of all interest-based advertising served by AppLovin through the “i” or “Learn more about ad preferences” link available on the face of an ad served by AppLovin.  Once you click on the link, you will see a button to “Opt-Out of Interest-Based Advertising.”
  • Opt-Out through Device-Level Choices.  In addition, if you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements, you can limit the collection of certain information through your device’s settings.  Detailed instructions on how to change these device settings can be found in the “Manage Your Privacy Choices” section of our Privacy Policy and in the instructions available here.

Please know that opting out of targeted advertising does not mean that you will not receive advertising.  You may still receive ads, but those ads may be less relevant to your interests.

*    *    *    *

Please note that requesting to exercise your rights through us will not bear on the personal information processed about you by our third-party partners and customers, including the publishers or other third parties to whom you provide information.  If you wish to exercise your rights with respect to these third parties, please submit a request with each party directly.

Children’s Privacy 

As explained in our Privacy Policy, AppLovin does not knowingly collect personal information from, or serve advertisements to, children as defined and required by the State Privacy Laws.  If you believe we have served an advertisement to a child or might have any personal information from or about a child, or if you believe a mobile application in which an AppLovin-served advertisement appeared may be designed for, directed to, or pass personal information knowingly from, children, please contact us via email at [email protected].

Appointment of an Authorized Agent

In certain circumstances, you may appoint an authorized agent to exercise any rights that you may have on your behalf.  To the extent permitted under law, we will take steps to verify the identity of the person seeking to exercise their rights and to verify that the corresponding agent has been authorized to make a request on that person’s behalf, such as by providing us with a signed written authorization.

AppLovin Legal Information

Privacy Policy Revision – September 22, 2025


Content

Effective Date: September 22, 2025

AppLovin Corporation (“AppLovin,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a suite of tools for app developers and other businesses to automate and optimize the marketing and monetization of their platforms, products, or services by enabling the placement of different types of advertisements on digital properties including mobile apps, websites, and connected TV devices (collectively, the “Advertising Services” or “Services”).  As explained below, consumers interact with us in various ways, primarily through advertisements served by AppLovin on behalf of advertisers.

The AppLovin Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information through our Services and advertising platform, and our corporate website at www.applovin.com (the “Website”), as well as your choices related to that information.

Our Advertising Services

This section describes the information we collect, use, and share through our Advertising Services.

General Information Collection and Use

If you are a consumer who downloads and uses an application which contains the AppLovin SDK or otherwise interacts with the Services through advertisements served within a digital property, we may collect certain information, including the following:

Device, App, and Browser Data

  • Device make, model, and operating system;
  • Device properties related to screen size, orientation, audio, battery, device memory usage, settings, and boot time;
  • Device settings related to accessibility features, font size, and theme; 
  • Carrier;
  • Name and properties of mobile application through which a consumer interacts with the Services;
  • Country, time zone, and locale settings (country and preferred language);
  • Network connection type and speed;
  • IP Address;
  • Internet browser user-agent used to access the Services;
  • HTTP header information;
  • Advertising IDs (IDFA/GAID/Amazon Advertising ID);
  • Vendor IDs (IDFV);
  • App Set IDs; and
  • Advertising and tracking preferences and restrictions.

Advertisers (through the advertiser itself or through a third party service provider on behalf of such advertiser) may also share transactional or other “event” data related to a consumer’s interaction with an application, such as information about the actions taken in an application like purchases or application installations.

Information Collection and Use Specific to e-Commerce Ads Only

If you are a consumer who interacts with the Services through an e-commerce platform or merchant website, we may collect certain additional information that you provided to the e-commerce platform or merchant (either through our SDK or pixel or through a third party’s API or other similar technologies), including the following:

  • User IDs;
  • Shopping browsing behavior (e.g., views) and search history;
  • Records of products purchased or considered (e.g., added to cart, check out);
  • Purchasing histories;
  • Hashed email addresses and phone numbers; and
  • Information regarding user interactions with advertising partners and their merchant partners’ sites and advertisements.

How We Collect Your Information

This information may be collected automatically across mobile apps and devices or received from third parties across different technologies over time. We may also combine information we collect with other information we derive through analytical techniques and we will use that combined information to provide the Services.  

How We Use Your Information

We generally use the information we collect to:

  • Deliver the Services, maintain, and improve them, including our AI-powered advertising technology, and research and develop new ones;
  • Promote safety, security, and integrity of Services;
  • Provide measurement, analytics, and reporting; and
  • Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

We use AI-powered advertising technology to help us improve our advertising products and Services and serve ads that are relevant and interesting to you. We use it in ways that do not produce legal or similarly significant effects on you (for example, we may use such technology to provide an ad for a product you may be interested in or to reorder how advertisements might appear when you visit a digital property such as a mobile app or a website).

Information Sharing

We may share information we collect or derive with third parties in the following contexts:

  • Service Providers. We transfer information to service providers and other partners who support our business, such as those that provide technical infrastructure services, analyze how our Services are used, measure the effectiveness of ads and services, provide customer service, or facilitate payments. These partners must adhere to strict confidentiality obligations in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the agreements we enter into with them.
  • Affiliates. We may share information within the AppLovin family of companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Advertising Partners. We share information with our third-party advertising partners, including advertisers, ad networks, exchanges, demand side platforms, merchants, other advertising partners (who aggregate their own demand sources), and ad optimization and measurement/attribution partners (e.g., mobile measurement partners or “MMPs”) to provide our clients with Advertising Services. This information may be used by such third-party partners to measure how effective ads are, show advertisements to end users for products and services that are more likely to appeal to them (a practice known as interest-based advertising or behavioral advertising), and to undertake analytics to analyze traffic and other ad activity to improve the advertising experience.

    Unless otherwise noted in our partner list, each AppLovin advertising partner is an independent controller of your data. You can view a list of AppLovin advertising partners with whom we share your data here, current as of the date listed at the top of that page.

    If you do not want to receive “interest-based advertisements,” please see the “Manage Your Privacy Choices” section below. If you are located in the European Union, UK, or Switzerland, you may also see the “Additional Provisions for EU/UK/Swiss Individuals” section below for more options. If you are an individual resident of the U.S. states that have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, you may also review the “U.S. Multistate Privacy Notice” section below for more options.

    Please note that the practices of our third-party advertising partners delivering advertisements through our Services are subject to those partners’ own privacy policies.
  • Regulatory or Legal Requirements. We may disclose information to governmental regulatory authorities as required by law, including for tax or accounting purposes, in response to their requests for such information or to assist in investigations. We may also disclose personal information to third parties in connection with claims, disputes, or litigation, or when otherwise required by law or court order.
  • Safety and Terms Enforcement. We may disclose information if we determine, in our sole discretion, that its disclosure is necessary to protect the health, safety, or rights of you or any other person, protect against fraud, or enforce our legal rights, including contractual commitments made to us by third parties.
  • Business Transfers. We may disclose personal information as part of an organizational business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, financing, or sale of organizational assets, and may transfer personal information to a third party as one of the business assets in such a transaction. We may also disclose personal information in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.

Manage Your Privacy Choices:

To limit collection of information from mobile devices, please visit your device’s settings to set the “Limit Ad Tracking” or other similar features on your device. Additionally, you may opt-out of interest-based advertising within ads served by AppLovin; for detailed instructions, see How AppLovin Shows You Ads. You can also make choices about data collection for certain companies by visiting an industry consumer choice platform such as the NAI (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) or DAA (https://optout.aboutads.info/).  You may still receive ads after limiting processing of your information for interest-based advertising but those ads may be less relevant to your interests. 

To access or delete the data collected by AppLovin from your device, you may download the AppLovin Privacy Management Application from the Apple or Google Play Stores:

App Store
Google Play


By navigating through the tabs in the AppLovin Privacy Management Application, you can erase the personal information that AppLovin may have collected about you or request a copy of that personal information. If you encounter technical issues with the app, please contact us via email at [email protected].

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from, or serve advertisements to, children as defined and required by applicable laws. If you believe we have served an advertisement to a child or might have any personal information from or about a child, or if you believe a mobile application in which an AppLovin-served advertisement appeared may be designed for, directed to, or pass personal information knowingly from, children in violation of our policies, please contact us via email at [email protected].

Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable measures to help secure the information we collect through the Services. We retain data collected through the Services as long as we continue to receive updated information from your device, or until you request deletion, whichever occurs first. If we do not receive any updated information through the Services for a continuous period of 2 years, data is automatically purged from our systems. Note that we will retain information in our systems for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Additional Provisions for EU/UK/Swiss Individuals

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following additional provisions apply to you.

Data Privacy Framework

AppLovin complies with the EU-U.S Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

AppLovin has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.  AppLovin has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

If you are an EU, UK, or Swiss individual, where we transfer your personal data to third party servicer providers (see above) who perform services for us or on our behalf, we are responsible for the processing of that data by them and shall remain liable if they process your personal data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. 

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Data Privacy Framework, AppLovin is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, AppLovin may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, AppLovin commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal information. EU, UK, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF should first contact AppLovin at [email protected]. AppLovin refers unresolved complaints to TRUSTe, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States.  If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request for more information or to file a complaint.  These dispute resolution services are provided at no cost to you.

For complaints regarding DPF compliance not resolved by any of the other DPF mechanisms, you have the possibility, under certain conditions, to invoke binding arbitration. Further information can be found on the official DPF website.

Lawful Basis for Processing

On certain occasions, we process your personal data when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, such as to provide services to you. We may also process your personal data to respond to your inquiries concerning our products and services.

On other occasions, we process your personal data where required by law. We may also process your personal data if necessary to protect your interests or the interests of a third party.

Additionally, we process your personal data when necessary to do so for fraud prevention, improving our network and services, and marketing our services to advertisers and publishers, where these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.

Otherwise, we will generally ensure that consent has been obtained from you if there is no other lawful basis for such processing. You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of personal data at any time.

If personal data covered by this Privacy Policy is to be used for a new purpose that is materially different from that for which the personal data was originally collected or subsequently authorized, or is to be disclosed to a non-agent third party in a manner not specified in this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with an opportunity to choose whether to have your personal data so used or disclosed. Requests to opt out of such uses or disclosures of personal data should be sent to us as specified in the “Contact” section below. Certain personal data, such as information about medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, is considered “Sensitive Information.” AppLovin does not collect or seek to elicit “Sensitive Information.”

For questions about data processing, please contact our Data Protection Officer. Visit the “Contact” section below for contact information.

Your Rights

If you are an individual in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, you are able:

  • To request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • To request that we rectify or erase your personal data;
  • To request that we restrict or block the processing of your personal data;
  • Under certain circumstances, to receive personal data about you that we store and transmit to another without hindrance from us, including requesting that we provide your personal data directly to another, i.e., a right to data portability; and
  • Where we previously obtained your consent, to withdraw consent to processing your personal data.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.  Our Data Protection Officer can also be reached at this email address.  Please be aware that we may be unable to afford these rights to you under certain circumstances, such as if we are legally prevented from doing so.

In certain circumstances, you may appoint an authorized agent to exercise any rights that you may have on your behalf.  If you choose to exercise any rights through an authorized agent, you will need to verify your identity directly with us before we can process any requests.  In addition, we will need written documentation demonstrating the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.

Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint against us. To do so, contact the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
